Xia Yangyang suddenly came up with a daring idea. freewebnøvel.coɱ

Grasping Gu Qichen’s arm, her eyes sparkling, she said, “Shall we secretly listen to what Grandma is saying?”

Gu Qichen furrowed his eyebrows, “That’s not right. I won’t go.”

Gu Qichen was upright, even if Xia Yangyang pulled him, he wouldn’t go.

Xia Yangyang said, “Then you go back, I’ll go by myself.”

With that, Xia Yangyang ran off.

Gu Qichen really did leave.

There happened to be a large date tree at the back of the hill.

It was lush with leaves and adorned with winter dates.

Xia Yangyang hid behind the date tree.

All she heard was grandma rambling on, “Xiao Zhen, I think Ah Chen is a good lad. At first, I just liked how handsome he was and thought, ‘NanNan is just like you, taken in by a pretty face’. But these past few days, I deliberately had him do some things and-

He didn’t complain and was very diligent. He seems to care a lot about NanNan. You can finally rest easy in the afterworld.”

Xia Yangyang heard every single word Grandmother had said.

She felt ecstatic.

So it turned out that Grandmother doesn’t dislike Ah Chen after all.

The hard labour she’s had him do these past few days was just her testing him.

Xia Yangyang was overjoyed, eager to share this news with Gu Qichen.

Just as she was about to turn around and leave…

She heard Grandmother sigh, sounding very grief-stricken, “My child, why were you so despondent that you ended up taking your own life? Do you know how much pain your mother endured these years? Wouldn’t it have been great if you lived to see NanNan live a good life? I never approved of that Xia man, but you insisted on marrying him. You ended up haunted by your beauty, and abandoned me. I was the one who raised you since you were little. You were my lifeline.”

By the time the elderly woman got to this part, she couldn’t help but wipe her tears.

“After all, I’m the one at fault. Although that heartless man betrayed you, I, an old woman, had no choice but to let her stay in that home. He had an affair with that woman, which devastated you so much to the point of suicide. It’s such a pity that NanNan had to spend all those years in that place, I don’t know if they have treated NanNan unfairly…”

The elderly woman suddenly wiped her tears again, a hint of relief appeared on her face, “At least she has found a good family now. I am more and more satisfied with Ah Chen. Aside from being too handsome, he has no other faults. I just fear that his beauty will attract way too many women. My child, I hope you look down on us from the sky and bless NanNan’s happiness.”

The elderly woman continued to ramble on gravely in front of the tomb.

But Xia Yangyang, standing behind the date tree, was already stunned stiff.

Did Grandma just say that her mother’s death was a suicide?

She never knew her mother committed suicide.

Xia Yangyang only has vague memories of that time because she knew that in the end, her mother was hospitalized. Her father said she was not well, so she shouldn’t disturb her too much.

But Xia Yangyang would visit her mother in the hospital every few days. At that time, her mother would always struggle to tell her stories while her father was very attentive, always making tea and running errands.

Although Xia Yangyang knew her father had cheated on her mother while they were married and couldn’t let go of that, she consoled herself with the memory of the exceptional care he gave to her mother during her last days in the hospital.

He still loved her mother, he was just unfaithful.

Xia Yangyang always thought this.

But Xia Yangyang never knew that Tan Zhen had committed suicide!
